          beyond the ends of the boss 48.  The extending ends of the pin              
          49 serve as a pivot for a bifurcated, elongated arm 50.  The                
          arm 50 is formed in two pieces with the bifurcated piece being              
          the end that is connected to the pin 49 with the opposite end               
          of the arm 50 being connected to a vertical sleeve 51.  The                 
          sleeve 51 is rotatably mounted with respect to a vertical                   
          shaft 52.

          station 28, and also to move toward and away from one another               
          in order to cooperate with one another and with a blank mold                
          at the blank side of the machine, and to release a partially                
          formed parison at the blow side of such a machine.  In a
